Beginning March 20th, 2016 Poetry Breakfast will once again serve a little poetic nourishment every morning. Start your day with our new expanded menu. Poems, of course, are our specialty. But we will also be serving a fuller menu that includes poetry related creative non-fiction such as letters to and from poets, essays on poetry, and anything else that might feed a poet and poetry lover’s soul.

Kenny Fame

That stunning body design. She
text him into every line of
her palm; exceed all available
space. He’s built stronger
than the stench of urine in
any New York City Housing
Project elevator. Much tougher
to get through than, Times Square.

She savors his kiss good bye; with
her neck hair’s raised. Goose bumps
instantly appear; like Braille on both
arms: vibrate one missed call displays
how (her) body is (his) touch screen.
